Now London, Conn., Aug. 30.
Richard Mansfield died this morning
at his homo here. His death fol
lowed a long illness, which came af
ter last winter's breakdown at
Scranton, Pa., while playing Pero
Hyacinth. During his last appear
ance Mansfield's eccentricities be
came so accentuated that people
couldn't work' with him. Ho died at
C:30 this morning, the direct cause
of death being a diseased liver, but
thero were many complications. Ho
had been around the house since his
return last week from Saranac Lake,
Npw York, but three days ago a
change for the worse started. Dn
Allen, a local physician, said there
were circumstances in the case which
made recovery Impossible. Despite
this fact the actor had been reported
as Improving. His death is a shock
to his friends.
Tho most pleasant excursion that
has taken place this season was given
by the East Marshfield W. C. T. U.,
on Saturday. The launch Messenger
left with thirty-five for catching Inlet
where all enjoyed tho scenery going
up. We were on tho anxious seat
for a short time, being on tho mud
flat, but Captain A. Masters, with his
launch Sumner, kindly came to our
rescue and wo were soon afloat and
on our way again. Tho bracing air
had given all a fine appetite. A de
licious luncheon was soon spread on
reaching the grove. Then came
Robert and Jay Richard, with the
car to give us an enjoyable ride of a
mile to the cozy little nook of Sum
ner. This was a red letter day for all
tho boys. Wo had tho pleasure of
sampling Mrs. Harris' splendid
cheese. She being the famous cheese
maker of Coos Bay having taken the
blue ribbon twice at the State Fair.
The largest onions we have seen grow
ing In the county was at T. Boone's.
Tho same should be exhibited at tho
Chamber of Commerce, as well as
somo American Beauty roses. Mrs.
Leonard Masters gave us a hearty
welcome at tho Hotel Sumner where
the time was passed only too soon.
Then our return trip hdme with a
tired but a happy crowd, saying they
had been royally entertained by the
W. C. T. U., and they could go again
to enjoy such an outing.

The Oregonlan in commenting up
on Mansfield's death, says; "By tho
death of Richard Mansfield tho Eng
lish speaking world lost its most dis
tinguished actor. Since Edwin
Booth ho had no peer in America,
since Henry Irving, none in England.
Neither Booth nor Irving had a tithe
of tho versatility that In Mansfield
'was little short of marvolous.
"Above all else Mansfield had pro
digious energy and industry. He
was never satisfied with one success
nor a dozen. While tho theatre
golng public still clamored to seo him
again in somo now role of his own
creation, ho discarded it in order to
tage another and better product.
Ambitious, restless and proud, with
highest ideals of his art and a deep
sense of obligation to his vast clien
tele, ho compressed Into one year as
much Intellectual force as many
flrst-rato actors would expend in a
lifetime. And he paid the penalty.
At 50, when ho should havo been in
Ills prime, ho collapsed.
"His mantle is too largo for anyone
now before tho public. While a few
actors may do Shakespeare accejta
bly, whero will you look for a man
who can adapt himself to that de
lightful comedy "Prlnco Karl" in tho
afternoon, and then give an incom
parably fine performance of "Richard
III" the same evening? How varied
the talents of a man who on Monday
night gives us Booth Tarkington's
idyllic "Monsieur Beaucalro," and on
Tuesday Robert Louis Stevenson's
extraordinary dual personage "Dr.
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde."
"In a man of Mansfield's com
manding talent acting is not a sec
ondary art. The author of "A Per
sian Romance" did not create tho
character of Baron Chovrlal,, and
Mansfield's Beau Brummcl Is 'hot a
copy of tho historical fop. And how
Is so versatile a man as Mansfield to
be classified? Eminent comedian,'
character actor of tho romantic
school or tragedian? Ho was each
and all of theso. Ho was in a clags,
by himself."

(Eugene Guard.)
Jack King's accusation of pro
fessionalism against Dan Kelly Is
a case of tho greatest Ingratitude to
ward tho representatives of tho Uni
versity of Oregon, for tho reason that
C. N. ("Pat") McArthur Is tho man
to whom King must look for his re
cent reputation, which has caused
tho Portland newspapers to listen
to his talk. Last spring McArthur,
In tho Oregonian, wrote a series of
articles concerning track work, in
which King was constantly boosted
as a great track trainer. Tho sother
Portland papers took King up, and
onco moro ho was boosted to n pin
naclo of famo.
Now that ho accuses Kelly of be
ing a professional, implicating the
University of Oregon, ho has gono
back on tho nion of tho institution
who havo dono more for him nnd
his nnmo than anything else. To
a largo degree "tho honors of tho
track which Multnomah has cap
tured Is duo to tho University of
Oregon track mon and their train
er, llayward, nnd their records and
victories mado it posslblo for writers
connected with tho college hero to
make King a man of consequence In
tho sporting world.
Ordinarily a few words of explana
tion is very apropos, at other times
they are absolutely essential, and
will relieve doubt and uneasiness,
and sometimes great distress of mind
and fear. This dissertation Is called
forth by a recent Instance related to
the Times, by Mrs. J. L. Berry, ad
vance agent for the noted scientist
who will be on the Bay this week.
Mrs. Berry came from Roseburg via
tho Coos Bay Wagon Road.
When asked how she stood the
trip she remarked, "Fine. I really
enjoyed the stage trip, and so wrote
my friends over at Roseburg. The
scenery was just grand. But the
trip from Sumner down on the boat
caused mo more uneasiness and dis
tress of mind than all my traveling
experience."
This somewhat surprised the
Times man, as that Is the easiest
and safest part of the route, and
naturally he was desirous to know
what her experience was.
She continued, "Of course, now I
wouldn't mind It In the least, but
that night I shall never forget. Just
think of It! There I was in the dead
of the night, so dark and foggy you
could not see a foot ahead of you. I
was the sole woman passenger, and
two of the men were foreigners, and
the boat broken down or ashore,
maybe about to drift onto the rocks
and bo dashed to pieces. Oh, I toll
you, I Imagined many things, and not
a word of explanation did I get from
anyone. If tne captain of tno boat
had explained to me that he was fog
bound, on the flats and that there
was no danger, only a little delay, It
would havo put me at ease. Know
ing, as I do now, that I was as safe
thero as anywhere, I would not mlad
It In the least, only for the Incon
venience." It Is to bo hoped that the captain
of the boat will take this as a gentle
reminder and in the future explain
these matters to strangrs and make
himself popular as a thoughtful
guardian of his passengers, as he Is
known to be a thoroughly reliable
and most excellent young man.
